Six Aids to Enlightenment

As they emerge from listening to the Dharma, contemplating it,

and bringing it into experience through meditation and conduct,

enthusiasm makes a person accept or reject

according to the relationship between cause and effect;

curiosity makes a mind apply itself to the most high;

dedication makes a person most conscientious;

clarity lets virtue shine brightly in the mind;

trust abolishes doubt about the ultimate;

and certainty gives supreme confidence in the meaning of life.
